## Challenges
This was a play-money experiment, which is the primary confound. Real-money futarchy may produce different calibration through actual downside risk. The 84-day measurement window may have been too short for TVL impact to materialize. ETH price volatility during the measurement period confounded project-specific performance attribution.

Multi-modal proposals enable futarchic DAOs to make selection decisions across multiple alternatives: 'you can imagine a proposal to choose the first place prize of the Solana Scribes contest, where there's a conditional market on each applicant. Without multi-modal proposals, a futarchic DAO has basically no mechanism for making choices like this, but multi-modal proposals solve it quite well.' The proposal also suggests awarding 2nd and 3rd place prizes to the 2nd and 3rd highest trading contestants, demonstrating how ordinal ranking (who ranks highest) works better than cardinal estimation (what absolute score each deserves).

# MetaDAO: Develop Multi-Option Proposals?
## Summary
Proposal by agrippa to develop multi-modal proposal functionality for MetaDAO, enabling proposals with multiple mutually-exclusive outcomes beyond the existing binary pass/fail structure. Requested 200 META compensation distributed across four development milestones, with completion assessed by a 3/5 Squads multisig.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** agrippa (99dZcXhrYgEmHeMKAb9ezPaBqgMdg1RjCGSfHa7BeQEX)
- **Proposal Account:** J7dWFgSSuMg3BNZBAKYp3AD5D2yuaaLUmyKqvxBZgHht
- **Created:** 2024-02-20
- **Completed:** 2024-02-25
## Significance
This proposal represented an important mechanism design expansion for futarchy implementation. Multi-modal proposals would enable selection decisions across multiple alternatives (e.g., choosing contest winners, comparing multiple strategic options) rather than just binary pass/fail votes. The proposer estimated this would add +12.1% value to MetaDAO by exponentially increasing decision-making bandwidth (+5%), addressing pork barrel problems through draft stages (+5%), creating governance innovation hype (+2%), and enabling fee collection from other protocols (+0.1%).
The proposal included novel governance structure: milestone-based payment (50 META per milestone) assessed by a 5-member Squads multisig (Proph3t, DeanMachine, 0xNallok, LegalizeOnionFutures, sapphire), with each multisig member receiving 2.5 META for participation.
Despite the technical merit and detailed implementation plan, the proposal failed, suggesting either market skepticism about the value proposition, concerns about the developer's ability to deliver, or competing priorities for DAO resources.

extraction_notes: "Failed proposal for multi-modal proposal development. Primary extraction is the decision_market entity capturing the governance event. Three enrichments added: (1) milestone payment structure details for Autocrat implementation, (2) confirmation of simplification principle in production futarchy, (3) extension of relative selection capability with concrete use case examples. No new claims extracted - the value proposition (+12.1% DAO value) is self-reported speculation from proposer, not validated evidence. Developer credentials and background are factual but not claim-worthy."
